W Is for Woof: A Dog Alphabet

This is a great book! Beautiful illustrations, and wonderful word use for each letter of the alphabet! I especially enjoyed 'T' for Therapy Dog, as my own dog and I are a therapy team.

puppies

This would be a great book even if you don't have a dog but were thinking about one for the family.With all the information about dogs & puppies (I am partcial to the puppies because the P for puppies,as well as the cover were from my litter !!) and the art work is fabulous, even very small children would enjoy just looking at the pictures.

W is for Wonderful!

This book is wonderful and the pictures are amazing! Anyone who loves dogs and puppies would enjoy this. They call it an "alphabet" book, however it is more about what the dogs are doing rather than names of breeds. This would be an excellent book for an adult to read to a child. It would be a great low calorie Valentine's gift. The book is extremely well-wriiten and you can see that Ruth Strother knows a LOT about dogs. Oh and check out "Q is for Quest". Those are MY Bloodhounds! Liberty and Rose.
